Fair enough (even though I could pick some nits concerning ionic (de)polarization and chemical signaling, all driven by various redox reactions and powered by aforementioned hydrocarbon oxidation).

In actuality, nearly nothing in the universe seems to be powered by electricity. Gravity powered fusion drives the stars, radioactive decay (fission) and gravity drive planetary activity, chemical (including photochemical) reactions drive life. Electrical current flow happens naturally, but it doesn’t seem like a big driving phenomenon.

Not to say that we shouldn’t use electric cars, or really electric everything. We should! It’s just that the OPs argument was dumb.
